Texas King Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I can't decide. Can you? Edited April 28, 2017 by Texas King
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I think Alex shreds. Alex wins. Also Dave Mustaine is an excellent shredder. And I do like EVH and John Petrucci a lot as well.
treeduck Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I went with Shawn Lane, although he's more than just a shredder.
Blue J Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Sam I Am,Sam I Am. I do not like green eggs and ham. 1
treeduck Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Eddie Van Halen got all his shredding ideas from Allan Holdsworth just to remind you... 6
Rick N. Backer Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 This was easy. Other than EVH, only Randy Rhoads merits even a moment's consideration.
J2112YYZ Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Never thought of Petrucci as a shredder. If Marty Friedman is on this list than Dave Mustaine sure as hell should be. But both are more than just shredders. Especially Mustaine. 1
Blue J Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I don't like shredders. Generally, I don't either- hence my previous post. 1

But both are more than just shredders. Especially Mustaine. Just noticed that. Yeah Mustaine defines shredding as far as I'm concerned.

He does shred with some of his solos but he's also superb with his riffs and melodic playing. 1

condemned2bfree Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Eddie Van Halen got all his shredding ideas from Allan Holdsworth just to remind you... Holdsworth really does not get the credit he deserves. Seems fellow musicians are aware of his amazing contributions, but not the wider public.He did so much for the guitar, thats not widely known, others have taken, sold well in a flash, brash manner. I'd pick Guthrie Goven Mr Gilbert or michael angelo batio, though Batio's guitar tone and musicality is something I really don't like. 2
condemned2bfree Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 The tone, voicing, the shredding - just beautifully played. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeXSQl56no8 3

Guthrie Goven is a great guitarist, I mean what he does make musical sense to me, he's very very tasty, musically, and technically a demon, not many can touch him. 1

thirteen Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) The best 'shredders' are Hall & Oates. Don't believe me? Watch this... As for real shredders - you're all going to be haters but I voted for Yngwie Malmsteen. Excluding his (frequent) arrogant remarks, he is a phenomenal 'shred' guitarist. And seriously no Ritchie Blackmore? This list is USELESS! Edited April 29, 2017 by thirteen 1
tangy Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Buckethead. He shreds while bringing the funk.... 1
